CP takes full control at Old Admiralty Building
"The project utilises CP’s full RAPID System, comprising 217 DALI gateways and 52 pluggable LCMs (Lighting Control Modules) plus 500 6-pole Vitesse modular LCM’s for the DALI and power to the lights."
 

Lichtvision Design on lighting the Bauhaus Museum Dessau

Trends in Lighting spoke with project director Carla Wilkins from Lichtvision Design on the lighting scheme for Bauhaus Museum Dessau..."We provided a DALI lighting control system and grouped the fittings in order to provide a sleek interior appearance devoted to functionality...The industry standard DALI has made it possible for us to overcome most technical challenges in a manageable way."

Over one thousand Tunable White luminaires deliver uniform, quality light across ten floors of retail and public space

"...one of the largest public buildings with tunable white luminaires throughout the entire space that can be dimmed to 0.1% and provide continuous dynamic adjustment of the light from 2500K to 4000K throughout the day...Using eldoLED® drivers supporting the new DALI Device Type (DT) 8 standard..."

Samsung KX

“The entire space is controlled by a DALI system, which has the capacity to be totally transformative. Every one of the LED lights that you see in the space is individually addressable and can be adjusted according to how Samsung KX is being used.”

Automated Technology Company (ATC)

The first KNX intelligent commercial building in the USA

"As the HQ for ABB’s Industrial Automation USA division, this intelligent building needed to have the highest level of building automation available. The KNX protocol was used for all of the occupant/room level controls including LED lighting (with DALI) and HVAC. The project comprises 1197 KNX components, 3425 DALI interior lights, and 225 exterior lights including the parking lot and five ABB signs."

Lighting Control: A Work of Art

"The Prodigy Controller...seamlessly interfaces with existing DALI fixtures and can be controlled remotely via app or web browser from any smart device, allowing for easy and instant reconfiguring of light levels throughout the space."

Pilkington Automotive taps smart lights for space analysis

"Around 1,300 Maxos fusion luminaires from Signify illuminate the entire facility in Gelsenkirchen, Germany, and the sensors relay information about warehouse usage and conditions via a Zigbee wireless connection to a cloud data system...Chips also wirelessly relay information about light conditions (such as outages) and luminaire energy consumption, which they gather from DALI wires in the same trunk as the electricity wires. Pilkington additionally uses DALI for lighting control."

The sky’s the limit with Zumtobel luminaires at Aerospace Bristol Museum

"The system communicates via DALI, which means that each DALI luminaire can be used as an individually monitored emergency luminaire and can be controlled individually."

ABB

Bauhaus Dessau Museum Uses ABB i-bus KNX for Safe and Smart Building Technology

"Using ABB’s DALI gateways all controllers, sensors and detectors can be integrated into one network. This enables programming and control of all lights in the building from the central control point."

Lux Review magazine

Retrofit project uses Bluetooth mesh to control the lights

"The controller converts Bluetooth mesh commands to a DALI output, enabling rapid retrofitting of existing LED systems into Bluetooth mesh lighting networks."

KSLD

Scottish Parliament Debating Chamber

"Control-wise, KSLD replaced the original scheme with Lutron-controlled DALI lines, as Shaw elaborated: “The original scheme was just switched. We had all the power lines in the ceiling, and we repurposed these to become DALI lines with minimal re-wiring, because in six weeks, we couldn’t rewire the whole thing.”

Oodi Central Library, Finland

"Most of the lighting scheme is controlled and dimmable with DALI and operated with KNX building control."

Saint Peter’s Basilica, Rome, Italy

"The DALI-controlled luminaires are in turn connected to the Vatican’s KNX building control system."

"DALI controls have been used throughout."

Moscow’s office lighting with a twist

"The system then uses advanced algorithms to control the DALI-dimmable luminaires and the custom roller window blinds to maximise visual comfort and minimise energy use. Each fitting uses RGBW LED technology to allow infinite scenes. In total, there are 3,500 luminaires representing pixels."

Holophane (Acuity Brands)

Curl Aberdeen: Lighting Fit for Champions

"To avoid using complicated controls, the rink uses the Holophane Holos Air Lite system. This is based on the wireless EnOcean technology protocol. A simple wall switch, which doesn’t require any mains power, sends a signal wirelessly to the DALI connected node on the luminaires. No extra wiring is required to dim the luminaires."

Versatile light for Kunsthalle Mannheim

"We opted for lighting panels integrated in the ceiling. We could then do without light sources as objects in the room, leaving the clear minimalist architecture of the cubes unimpaired. DALI lighting control is used for dimming and switching the ceiling panels."

Thorn illuminates world’s longest sea bridge

Thorn secured two of the three lighting contracts for the world’s longest sea bridge, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, a 115.9 billion yuan (EUR14.7 billion) project. Thorn’s products illuminate the two artificial islands at the east and west of the crossing, and the tunnel that leads to the bridge from Hong Kong. Thorn's Hong Kong team secured the tunnel lighting contract using 6000 of Thorn’s GTLED Entry and GT58 luminaires with DALI drivers to light a one-kilometre tunnel.
